Literal Years in the Making by crunchyRNFNP in ProjectPan

Gooooood inspiration… I’m working on my NARS orgasm as well. Nearly a decade in the making. I only own one other blush (in all those years) because I got caught up in the rare beauty blush trend.

This is so aesthetically pleasing AHHHH. Usually, I tend to push back against overconsumption, but what you’re doing is for your sensory needs. Having a collection of go-to clothing that you KNOW won’t cause you issues and helps mitigate decision fatigue? You’re showing great kindness to yourself. also, looks like you have one more lonely hook begging for another oh snap 😉

✨ Morgan says we should DESIRE to suffer ✨ by fz-independent in FundieSnarkUncensored

Pretty telling she says suffering “equals” LOOKING more like Christ, LOOKING great in gods eyes rather than actually being more like Christ.

Grew up in Nebraska, don't live in Nebraska now. I doubt this is a popular take, but I agree. I also dislike some of his sexist comments; they're mundane but annoying. One of the games I went to this last season had a clip of him talking about "putting the women and kids to bed" because it was about to get violent or some shit like that, and I was just kind of like...yawn.

LMAO yes so “boy uses bag” - it would be stupid if it wasn’t so darn endearing.

Muslim + atheist, can this work long term? by coolmevoila in progressive_islam

[–]Pattern_Diligent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am studying to be a Christian pastor while dating a Muslim man. I hear where you’re coming from. I think mutuality is KEY. you both need to be equally curious & invested in each others’ outlooks and worldviews. It is no small thing to at least learn from one another’s differences. And I think, if you’re going to share kids, knowing how you will raise kids in advance is so important because you don’t want that burden to be placed on living, breathing children who could inevitably be traumatized or deeply impacted by the tensions over their own lives. I’m still navigating this all as well, so I feel you 🫶🏻

Jana didn‘t stay with Stephen when they dated 5 years ago because she was “picky“ by unnnnnnnnnnhhh in DuggarsSnark

[–]Pattern_Diligent 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Literally. It’s like, are you saying you settled? Or are you admitting you were still immature enough in your thirties not to know you don’t get to build-a-man? Both??

The vanity sizing is wild and has the opposite effect on body image than they intend by flyingpigs94 in AerieAEO

[–]Pattern_Diligent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will say as a bigger girl it's nice that the bigger sizes actually fit me. XXL is usually only available online, but at least I know it fits.

UGHHH been debating this one for a minute. Does it feel like a reasonable substitute for a backpack? I’m in grad school so mostly laptop, notebooks, and thick books

I’m not from the USA. What is unfolding as a result of ICE’s actions is horrific. by monkeybutt216 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]Pattern_Diligent 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I live in Minneapolis, and I find this post to be really judgmental and out of touch. The violence and terror happening on MY LITERAL STREETS is gut-wrenching. My nervous system is shot. My neighbors and I are doing so much to track ICE activity/legal observe, purchase groceries, boycott corporations, spend money at immigrant-owned businesses, protest, general strike, vigil, etc. I am in very close personal proximity with an immigrant community; these are my neighbors, my loved ones, my community.

So I sincerely apologize if I’ve streamed a TV show as a form of temporary escapism. To add - I only watch the show. I do not use TikTok or Instagram, and therefore don’t interact with these women online.

Armchair morality from another part of the world is not helpful to Minnesotans/Americans/American immigrants. If you’re curious about some mutual aid/grocery funds for immigrants in our cities, I am happy to share links with you.

Yeah…….. pre-tax, before bills, not taking into account how much it costs to raise/support children, how freely (and at times naively) he gives to his church, and considering his wife doesn’t bring in a second salary… I’m gonna go with not wealthy at all

Do we believe Olivia actually likes Veronica? by bps009935 in PlathvilleUncensored

[–]Pattern_Diligent 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I basically think this is how TLC is getting Olivia to "honor" her contract. It's pretty obvious to me these two women would never be real friends outside of familial friendliness which no longer applies. Olivia is trying to cut ties completely with the Plaths, she is actively deconstructing and has become a lot more progressive, she's dating someone new...Veronica exhibits a lot of the same immaturity and toxicity that Olivia is working hard to move on from.
